Xie Shouqi, born in 1934, joined the army in 1951, and was the deputy chief of staff of the Tianyang Farm Station Command. In 1965, the aid against the United States made Xie Shouqi and the southwestern border place of Guangxi formed an inextricable bond, and even witnessed the little bit of the southwestern airspace. From the "created" to "Made in China", this old man with nearly 90 years feels like "can live in this era, it's good!" Alertly, it is not easy for peace to be.

Personally experienced military equipment "nation creation"

Aid Vietnamese Anti -American Union Guangxi

In 1951, Xie Shouqi was assigned to the air defense forces radar after joining the army and was sent to the Shanghai Air Force Academy to study. "At that time, the equipment of our army was not good. For example, each of us was equipped with a gun, that is, the" Made of the Kingdom ", the Soviet rifle ... In short Seeing the students during the student soldiers, Xie Shouqi said with a smile, "At that time, we still used the type 31 -type one -type radar seized during the Anti -Japanese. Until 1955, my country only had the radar produced by its own. Type 31 radar copy. "

In 1965, the outbreak of Anti -U.S. in the United States, Guangxi became the front line. In order to prevent the US military from sneak attack and bombing, Xie Shouqi and thousands of comrades were sent to Tianyang Farm Station for cooperative defense. At that time, the construction of Tianyang Airport had just been underway, and the team of more than a thousand people settled in without a barracks. "We lived for more than three months of straw sheds, assisted the airport during the day, and tapped the gongs and drums at night, and learned the latest instructions of the central government." Xie Shouqi recalled.

At first see the empty air balloon, all the members are wrong

After many folds, it ended down

One day in 1975, the unknown flying objects appeared in the airspace of the Tianyang Farm Station. The alarm sounded the Tianyang Airport, and Xie Shouqi nervous at the duty suddenly tightened. The fighter took off urgently and went to the airspace, but the scene in the air made the pilots and the station staff be confused. I saw a huge white hydrogen balloon with a diameter of about ten meters floating in the air suddenly. There was a large bamboo basket that was almost as balloon under the balloon, covering the canvas. What is this? No one can say why.

After issuing the shot down, a scene was unbearable. "He suddenly floated like this, the pilot was not good at aiming. Our plane leaned on, and the balloon was blown away. Our aircraft turned away and ran away by the airflow. Reminiscence with a smile. Some tossing, finally shot down the empty air balloon at the end of the pilot.

Empty Balloon Full Loading Anti -Single Single

The military's life is not easy

The balloon fell in the mountains of the Bama Yao Autonomous County, and soon Xie Shouqi received a call from the Armed Forces Department of the Bama Yao Autonomous County, and the report found that it should be crashed. When Xie Shouqi led the local armed department to find the balloon in the deep mountains, it was understood that this balloon was actually an empty balloon floating in the mainland in Taiwan. "That big bamboo basket is full of abilities in Taiwan, and small foods such as biscuits. Since that, this empty balloon incident will occur 5 or 6 times a year." Xie Shouqi proudly said, "At that time Although we are poor, we have a poor qi. Our people have a high consciousness. We have a high degree of love for the motherland. After discovering this kind of balloon, there is basically no one in the inside, and we will report to the superiors. "

"In my life, I watched the" Monument ", watching MiG 16 to the J -5 J -6, and then today's J -20, especially after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, pay special attention to the construction of the sea and the Air Force. Our navy and air force equipment are more Sophisticated, reaching the world -class level, my country's prestige in the world has also greatly increased. I have experienced these, I am very emotional! "Xie Shouqi said," Maybe young people may not understand the thoughts and thoughts and people of our generation Life, but it will be beaten behind, this is the truth. "Source: Guangxi News Network
